Default Swap mounts easily?

WTF?! I pulled the caliper off last night and put it on my bench. The attachment to the mount looks like a complete mystery; there are (2) posts from the caliper that look like they're screwed in to the mount, but both have a rubber "bellows" squished between the caliper and the mount. And (1) has this rubber extending up thru the caliper to end in a big, squishy bulb where I would think a bolt-head should be (we can all see this if we look at the caliper as it's mounted on the fork). The other post ends inside the caliper casting, almost as if the entire caliper screws with this post into the mount, except it can't because the 1st mystery-post is there.

Please explain? I wish I had pics to show, but if you've done this, then you know what I'm talking about.
